Personal:

I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children.  I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

Partly sunny, 59 F and winds out of the NW @ 11 mph.

25 miles in a time of 3 hours, 23 minutes....average pace of 8.07 minutes. probably should not of run such a long run this week, but lots of personnel stress in my life right now, and a long run always seems to help. Pleased with this pace as I am still on target over 25 miles to finish in a good time in this October's Detroit marathon.
